Hunter Nation advocating for Hunters Rights
December 18, 2025 - Kansas City
Hunter Nation is proud to celebrate the passage of the Pet and Livestock Protection Act of 2025 (H.R. 845) on December 18, 2025– a decisive move to delist the gray wolf from the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and return wildlife management authority to the states. Introduced by Congressman Tom Tiffany (WI-07) and Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-04), this bill is a historic win for hunters, ranchers, farmers, and rural communities across America.
The legislation directs the U.S. Department of the Interior to remove the gray wolf from the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and requires the agency to reissue the November 2020 delisting rule, which was vacated by a federal court in 2022. This action finally restores science-based wolf management and returns authority to the states where it belongs. This victory represents far more than a policy correction: it is the culmination of years of advocacy, education, and mobilization by Hunter Nation and hundreds of thousands of American hunters, sportsmen, ranchers, and conservation-minded citizens.
By 2024, the wolf issue had reached a breaking point.
- Great Lakes wolf populations had climbed to 4,000–5,000 – 10X recovery goals.
- Ranchers were losing livestock at unprecedented rates.
- Elk, deer, and moose populations were suffering measurable impacts.
- Federal agencies refused to acknowledge the science or the voices of rural communities.
RESPONSIBLE PREDATOR MANAGEMENT
What is this All About? For too long, Washington bureaucrats have tied our hands in managing our state's out of control wolf population. Attend these town hall meetings to hear about new legislation that will remove wolves from federal protection and prevent activist judges from intervening in the management of these apex predators.
Responsible predator management is an important component in maintaining balanced wildlife numbers. Wolf management must be returned to the states to help control the populations of moose, elk, deer, and other wildlife.

State's Rights
Madison, Wisconsin (January 13, 2021) - This week, Hunter Nation, along with the Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty, won our lawsuit against the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources for ignoring a state law requirement to schedule a wolf hunt this winter.
A Jefferson County Circuit Court found that the Wisconsin DNR violated state law by refusing to schedule a winter 2021 gray wolf hunt when the gray wolf was delisted from the Endangered Species Act on January 4, 2021.
This is a historic victory for Wisconsin hunters and our constitutionally protected right to hunt and manage our wildlife here in Wisconsin!

I was born in Georgia and raised in rural Kentucky, where my passion for the outdoors began at an early age through hunting deer, dove, pheasant, and quail. My father introduced me to hunting and competitive shooting, and together with my mother, instilled in me the importance of faith, family, and respect for nature.
I bring an extensive background in the shooting sports community as a professional clay target shooter and instructor. My competitive experience includes being a multi-time member of Team USA, a 10x NSCA All-American, six Top 100 finishes at World Sporting (FITASC) Championships, and numerous clay target championships. I am also grateful to be supported by leading industry partners, including Krieghoff International, DuPont/Krieghoff, Clay Shooters Supply, and RC Cartridges. Competition shooting has introduced me to some of the greatest people from around the world who share a common passion for hunting and the outdoors.
I was born and raised in rural NW Illinois, deep in whitetail country, in a Christian conservative family where hunting was a way of life. My grandfather and father passed down values of faith, family, and the outdoors, introducing friends to hunting and creating bonds that shaped who I am today.
In 2008, I moved to Arizona, later earning my Ph.D. in Leadership and spending the next decade gaining experience across a range of industries — from serving in leadership within our 4th-gen family beer distribution business in Iowa, to Fortune 500 leadership consulting, aerospace trading, and fintech. Those years shaped my perspective on leadership and service fueling my passion to Make Arizona Great Again. In 2024, I started volunteering in Arizona political campaigns, where I became passionate about building conservative grassroots coalitions and serving as a Precinct Committeeman in LD14. My driving purpose is simple: to help protect our values of God, family, and freedom and secure a better future for our children.
I was born and raised in Louisiana, where the outdoors, family traditions, and a deep respect for God and nature shaped who I am. From an early age, I learned that hunting was not just a sport, but a way of life — one rooted in stewardship, responsibility, and gratitude for the land. Those values stayed with me as I built my career, my family, and my commitment to serving my community.
With more than 25 years of leadership and environmental advocacy experience, I have worked across business, conservation, and community engagement, always guided by a passion for protecting our natural resources while honoring the traditions that connect families to the outdoors. As a mother, I raised my children to respect nature, work hard, and live ethically — lessons that no classroom could ever replace. Today, I am proud to bring that same commitment to Hunter Nation as Louisiana State Director, where my mission is to defend our hunting heritage, support ethical conservation, and mobilize Louisiana hunters to protect our freedoms for future generations.

My passion for service began in my early teens through working on political campaigns, and later continued through roles as a firefighter, coach, and community leader. I am proud to serve as a career firefighter and as Pennsylvania State Director for Hunter Nation, a role I accepted in early 2020 because I believe in standing up for every hunter and every opportunity our future depends on. From supporting Saturday rifle deer opener and Sunday hunting, to advocating on key statewide issues, my mission is simple: protect our hunting traditions and ensure they remain strong for generations to come. My favorite hunts are any that I get to share with my kids — whether it’s deer, small game, ducks, or pheasants — because those moments are what truly define our legacy.
